The Wildhearts Tickets - Getting Wild in London

British rock has roots that go back to the Beatles in a big way, and the Wildhearts are no exception. Led by vocalist and guitarist Ginger back in 1989, the singer teamed up with guitarist Chris 'C.J.' Jagdhar, drummer Andrew 'Stidi' Stidolph, singer Snake, and Julian on bass guitar. Of course, the lineup changed dramatically upon the signing of a contract with EastWest Records in 1991 for their debut.

The Wildhearts Tickets - The Music of the Wildhearts

Earth Vs. the Wildhearts was the debut, released in 1993. For the most part, it was a successful album in the U.K. and all over Europe. And it was enough to warrant a release of a second album in 1995, entitled P.H.U.Q.. The album was the band's finest hour.

The Wildhearts Tickets - The Sound and Style of the Wildhearts

One thing's for sure: the band epitomized their name! Littered with tons of controversy, lineup changes, substance abuse, distribution problems, bitter arguments and other such squabbles, the Wildhearts could've been one of those stupid rock n' roll cliches if it wasn't for the fact that the band could play some seriously good ol' fashioned rock music. At one point, they were even offered a chance to tour with the immortals AC/DC! That's how good the Wildhearts really are.
